The beckoning call Came down from the highland The lights on the wall With shadows running down The southern song All around me in my life Gathering my thoughts As I drift out through the brush I'm not an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide I'm not an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide I'm not an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide I'm not an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide Unsettling flight It flows to divert me back to the quiet life That I left behind I soar through the night Still I rise with the morning tide To gather up my thoughts As I drift out to the sun I don't want to live like an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide I'm not an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide I'm not an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide I'm not an ordinary bird I wanna fly high Dive into the water Ride the ocean tide
